Ho hum. Continental drift works in this world, right?

Create some plants like silicon-based algae*, and some sponges*, and some silicon-based bacteria* living in various places, and some silicon-based fungi*, and silicon-based diatons*, and silicon-based protists* of various sorts, and a single species of carbon-based bacteria which lives by the hydrothermal vents.

Long-term goal:

Create some mats of sargasso-like plants, but silicon-based, so big and thick they can function as small islands when creatures come along. Give them floating, juicy fruits. Also create some sort of animal to eat these fruits and spread the seeds within.

Also, create some non-silicone based creatures, to serve as another caste (like plant/animal/fungus, we currently have one kingdom)

If you'd notice, I added some carbon-based life.

I'm thinking something based on a Noble Gas, or Lithium. Because Lithium and H₂O just looove each other.[/i]

Create boron-based volcano-dwelling fungi!

You can't create life "based" on just any element. The element needs to be able to bind with several other elements in a versatile number of ways. The best elements for that are probably those in Period 14, for various reasons related to valance electrons...so, carbon, silicon, maybe germanium, maybe maybe tin or lead.

Lets get some Germanium based things on one of the icecaps. i vote the southern ones.
four arms/legs small and 6 fingers on each limb. and a tail.
think smart monkey

Start simple. There's no life on land yet; we're still Precambrian. No monkies yet.

[Aseaheru]

eventually?

perhaps a creature that live at a volcano that blows them around the world?

Then Make Crazyest Life form to made by human mind

To everyone voting for Non-carbon based life: Silicate lifeforms on this planet would either be glacially slow to do everything, not making a very good game and also not evolving fast enough to escape before the sun goes supernova, or would die from the relatively absolutely freezing tempratures of the planet.

You guys made a earth-like planet. Just warning you because it would seem cruel to have your life die on the first post in the Evolution scale.

Make Carbon based micro-organisms then.

+1.

Also, unimportant germanium-based or silicate extremophile bacteria living in the/a volcano(s).

The positive ones would work too, Lithium is one of the highly reactive ones, and Flourine... jesus.

good sir i did my research and at this stage of tectonic activity boron-based lifeforms inside of volcanoes are nothing that should be considered impossible considering boron's chemistry is actually even more variable than carbon's and this stuff even has its own wikipedia article which you can use as a springboard to even more sources supporting my pseudoresearch

Too variable. So variable in fact, it cannot make viable life.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

We should seed some silicon-based life on one of the moons of Barney, for future !!Fun!!

[Jbg97]

I say we should set up an area for carbon based life, and another area for silicon based life. Then later, we can have an era of racism and war, finally closing the debate of whether carbon or silicon based life is better.
